Even though the Cowboys (5-4) are in last place in the NFC East, Phillips has scheduled only two practices. During the workouts on Wednesday and Thursday, Romo (broken finger) is expected to start throwing, while Newman (groin) and Kosier (knee) are expected to have limited participation. Phillips said he isn’t sure whether running back/kick returner Felix Jones (hamstring) will participate.

In other news, Phillips said Brooks Bollinger is now the second-string quarterback. That means the Cowboys must find a new holder for kicker Nick Folk. Phillips said there are a couple of candidates, including receiver Patrick Crayton.
